3 The 2018 DIS Stock Market Challenge What is the stock market? The stock market is an everyday term we use to talk about a place where stocks are "traded" meaning bought and sold. For many people, that is the first thing that comes to mind for investing. The goal is to buy the stock, hold it for a time, and then sell the stock for more than you paid for it. How long do you hang on to stock? Investors who hold stock for 15 years or more usually succeed in the market. Stocks are long-term investments. But there are no guarantees. What are stocks? Stocks are units of ownership in a company. Businesses raise money by selling stock to people. Companies sell stock to get money to: Research better ways to make things, Create new products, Improve the products they have, Hire more employees, Enlarge or modernize their buildings How does it work? When you buy stock, you become a shareholder, which means you now own a "part" of the company. If the company's profits go up, you "share" in those profits. If the company's profits fall, so does the price of your stock. If you sold your stock on a day when the price of that stock falls below the price you paid for it, you would lose money. In the stock market, prices rise and fall every day. When you invest in the stock market, you are hoping that over the years, the stock will become much more valuable than the price you paid for it. What does it mean if one stock is at a higher price than another stock? It means absolutely nothing. You cannot compare prices of different stocks to tell which one is doing better. Taken from:

4 6 Key Things to Know About the Stock Market 1. The actual price of a stock means nothing. For example, let s say ManghamMath become a public company and it was worth $100. I could sell 10 shares of my company for $10 each or 20 shares for $5 each or 100 shares for $1 each. In all three scenarios when my stock was $10 or $5 or $1 my company was worth $100. Don t choose a company just because the stock price is higher look at its stock price history. 2. The Dow, and NASDAQ, and the S&P are averages that track a variety of stocks. If you see or hear business headlines they will often mention one of the three names above. The Dow (also known as the Dow Jones Industrial Average) is a combination of 30 major companies stock prices. The NASDAQ and the S&P (or S&P 500) are also indicators of the entire market. 3. Over short periods of time almost anything can happen. Over long periods of time great companies to continue to perform well. In the early 2000s Amazon s stock price fell by 94%. $10,000 would have become $600. However, if you bought Amazon when it became public in 1997 and never sold you would have made tons of money. $10,000 would have turned into just over $10,000, Buy what you know. For students or adults or anyone just getting started in buying individual stocks a saying is, Buy what you know. That means investing in companies you know about and companies that you like and you buy and use their products. You might also think about companies and products that your parents or grandparents or even brothers or sisters use. 5. Diversify. You don t want to put all your money in one company or in companies that are all in similar businesses. As part of our game you will spread out your money in consumer stocks, service stocks, technology stocks, and financial stocks. Often times stocks in one category or in similar businesses go up together or down together. 6. To decide what to invest in you have to try to predict the future. Everyone knows exactly how much money a company is making today. Will the cool company today not be cool 10 years from now? Will more competitors show up? Will the cool company today come up even more awesome stuff in the future?
